ONIONS 
My stock of onion seed this season is extra fine, and 
i believe all who bay them will find them satisfactory. 
Every pound of old stock has been destroyed, and all 
seed will he filled from 1908 crop. This is a very im¬ 
portant matter with onion growers. 
YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. — The finest 
shaped, best colored ana largest cropper of any of the 
yellow onions. A favorite market variety. Pkt., 5c.; 
oz., 20c.; quarter lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00. 
LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD. —To those 
who prefar a red onion we recommend this as one of 
the very best. It yields equally as well as Yellow Dan¬ 
vers. Large size, purplish red skin, white flesh and 
fine grain. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; quarter lb. 65c. ; lb., 
*2.25. 
PRIZE TAKER.—-The best of the large foreign 
varieties. When started early under glass and trans¬

largest variety grown. Under special culture single 
specimens have been grown to weigh 5 pounds. My 
stock of seed is very choice. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; quar¬ 
ter lb., 60c.; pound, $2.00.

SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE. —• In many mar¬ 
kets, especially in the North and West dark red 
onions are preferred, and in spite of the deep color of 
the Southport Red Globe, the flavor is quite as mild as 
that of other varieties. Nothing handsomer can be 
grown than these dark, richly colored Red Globes. An 
average specimen will weigh about 8 to 10 ounces, 
grown from seed directly in the rows under ordinary 
culture. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; quarter lb., 60c.; lb., $2.
